Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

B. Lets not potentially go to war with our first spouses nation, particually as we just pissed off our other best chance at an ally by not giving or lending any cash.
 That said, lets also not loose out on getting any land. We can always send troops to grab all we can if talks break down, but the chance of talking minimises risk from other groups going after lands there.

In terms of foreign politics, Queen Auga used the vast monetary wealth to secure peace with Queen Dogethe of Cydwyl; in exchange for funds against Dahnians and Helliste, Dogethe publicly swore friendship to Methiant peoples as long as she breathes.

B Dogethe may be getting on in years but there's no good to surprise such an ally under the fog of war.

I'm worried, though, about the predictions of a long and bloody war, there. Our army isn't in the best shape, the nearest bit of Donuth is mountainous, and Lametania is probably still angry in the exact opposite direction. On the bright side those mountains may be a good place to find new mineral wealth.

Edit: Plus, it's Mid-Autumn, people. Let's negotiate now and not march the army into the mountains as winter comes on.

[Harry Baldman]

B! We're not land-grabbing, we're assisting our allies.

[Kashyyk]

Lets B good neighbours with Dogethe.

[omada]

Because there is a gold mine near our lands, cof cof, tottaly not meta-game.

You decide to hurriedly send a messenger to Queen Dogethe to negotiate things about possible split of Donuth lands.

1096 AD, Late Autumn

The Duchy of Sevon has split! The rebel lands ruler recently died, and his twin sons, unable to accept others' suizerainty nor willing to risk war while Lametania still exists, decided to evenly distribute the Duchy at roughly east-west line. The two new Duchies are Aran and Llamber, named after the two brothers of course.

Few days later, the messenger you've sent to Queen Dogethe is back. He looks both worried and triumphant in the same time.

"My liege! I bring news about my negotiation with Queen Dogethe. She agreed to leave the lands south of Tven peaks to Methiant, if only our armies can take them from Donuth. Otherwise, she will send her armies to seize those territories as well."

Your courtiers murmur. It isn't the best of offers, but it is some offer after all. You decide to...

A) Send the envoy again - this time with monetary gifts and request for better deal.
B) Send a letter in which you agree to this deal while your Armies prepare to enter Donuth's realm.
C) Forget the issue and let the Cydwyls grab all of Donuth for themselves, if they can take it all of course.

B. Those mountains make a sensible natural border, and that's still a good 1/3 of Donuth's land area.

[crazyabe]

B.

[VoidSlayer]

mountains make good borders.

Cydwyl would probably reach the rest first anyway.

[Iituem]

Be smart, and take the land that will result in the least diplomatic incidents.

[Haspen]

You decide to take what you're given and accept the deal.

The war council convenes next day and the officers ask the obvious question:

"Shall you lead us to glory and victory, King Yoe??"

A) Hell yes.
B) Heavens no.
